(New York Studio)
SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS DUE JUNE 1st!
The Johnny Depp Scholarship will be awarded by application and review to non-matriculated domestic students who are passionate about and dedicated to life long artistic development and actor training. Recipients will be selected by the president and administrative director and chosen based on the applicant’s artistic achievements, community leadership and interest in Lee Strasberg’s work. Johnny Depp is an international star, whose dedication to his craft, and the specifics of each moment, has yielded some of this generation’s most nuanced and alive performances. His boundless imagination, paired with his incredible devotion to the investigation of human behavior, and the resulting specificity of his characters, make Johnny Depp a model for all young actors and a brilliant standard for this scholarship recipient.
The Johnny Depp Scholarship is open to domestic students only. (International students should apply for the Eleonora Duse Scholarship). The Johnny Depp Scholarship is awarded each academic year for one year of full-time study in the Two-Year Conservatory at the New York Campus (A second year of scholarship may be awarded to the recipient after a review of his/her performance).

The Eleonora Duse Scholarship is awarded by application and review to non-matriculated international students who are passionate about and dedicated to life long artistic development and actor training. Recipients will be selected by the president and administrative director and chosen based on their artistic achievements, community leadership and interest in Lee Strasberg’s work. Eleonora Duse was an inspiration to Lee Strasberg and an early case study in the development of Stanislavksy’s ‘System’ and The Method. As a result, this scholarship represents the artistic relationship between these theatrical magnates and The Institute’s role in developing future generations of vibrant international actors.
